The rapid exchange of materials through carrier proteins across the plasma membrane is called:
Correct answer: D. Facilitated Diffusion
- A. Passive Diffusion
- B. Active Transport
- C. Endocytosis
- D. Facilitated Diffusion
Explanation
Facilitated diffusion also known as facilitated transport or passive-mediated transport, is the process of spontaneous passive transport of molecules or ions across a biological membrane via specific trans-membrane integral proteins.
